Pumpkin Cheesecake Brownies

Well, we made it! Classes are done until after Thanksgiving, and I couldn’t be more thankful to have gotten to this point. I love being a college professor, and I absolutely love my job, but I’ll let you in on a little secret – professors are just as excited for Thanksgiving break as the students!

Add the eggs (1 egg + 1 yolk – save the white!) and vanilla to the flour mixture, and add in the melted chocolate chips. *Note: be sure to add the egg and flour around the same time so you don’t scramble the eggs with the warm chocolate.

Stir well. *Note: Batter will be thick!

Spread the brownie batter in the bottom of an 11 x 7 baking dish. Set aside.

I am making these right now. I'm wondering, if the brownie batter calls for one egg or two. In your photo's it appears to have 2 eggs and you refer to the "eggs". I went ahead and added the second egg to the brownie batter, as I had a ball of batter.

I am sorry the recipe was confusing to you. The recipe calls for 1 egg in the brownie batter; however, the photo looks like 2. This is because I didn't want to waste an egg yolk (from the egg white needed for the filling), so I tossed it in. I'm sorry if that was confusing. I have made these both ways -- with 1 egg + 1 yolk and with just 1 egg in the brownie batter and they have turned out in both cases. I hope you had a positive result!

When cooking, please make sure to follow kitchen hygiene and safety -- cook meat until internal temperature is at safe levels, always check labels for allergens, and use caution in the kitchen -- I love sharing recipes, but I am not liable for damages done as a result of trying these recipes.
